ahhh forget it....hve got the first script working....thx for ur help man.

nyways have autorateaccurate installed which takes care of the ratings n keeps them uptodate based on the playcount n lots of other parameters. So i think it shouldnt be much of a problem if i use the 1st script.

but check the left side of the lines in the ini file that you added,
check the left side and the top line in the script you saved from the others.

make sure there is no space between the left side of the notepad in both.
and in the one you saved make sure there is no blank line at the top.

just put the curser to the left of each line and hit the backspace once or the delete button
make sure not to erase any of the line of code or move the line up once. just put the first
letter on the left.

now on the top of the vbs you saved make sure you back space that top line of code up to the top and
over to the left.

that might be the trouble i've had that happen a lot when i was putting the scripts in like this.

vbs is a tricky pile of monkey stuff.

Sorry but its still not working. I saved the script as autoDJ-PlayCount.vbs in Scripts/Auto. I also copy pasted the code given by u in the Scripts.ini. When i run mediamonkey i get the following error.

m i still goin wrong somewhere or der is a problem in the code. I use MM3.

thx for that. will try it out

Yeah, sorta. It uses the same rating algorithm to determine which songs should be more likely to be heard, based on rating & time since last played. But it pulls the actual songs using a different (easier/less accurate) algorithm. Also, it's an autoDJ script, rather than a script that pulls up 20 random songs into a window.

So, yeah.

I've updated the RFM script for MM3 if y'all want that too.

i wasn't saying he was wrong there, i just said there was a script i thought that was like the autodj scripts.
but thanks for the confirm..

I'm confused as to your post. I am not looking for a script to set ratings nor a script to create playlists. I want an autodj script that would make it's selections based on the playcounts instead of ratings but to exclude certain genre's, such as holiday. Or if not exclude the particular genre's, then to select the tracks from a certain filter. How is this different?? My ratings system is based on playcounts so I want the script to select songs which I like, ie I've played them over a certain amount of times. I already have playlists created for when I want to listen to those least played tracks. Every now and again I would like to have someone else pick the tracks I listen to but none of the autodj scripts meet my needs except there was an external one but I don't know sql and I prefer internal scripts so that one was not usable for me. Should I open a request for such a script??

So, something that weights based on playcount? If I'm reading correctly, you'd like things that have a higher playcount to be played more often?

That should be easy.

Let me see...

I don't know if this works, but it's close. I basically subbed playcount for the complicated rating calc. So things with higher playcounts have a greater chance of getting played.
It's got the same bias problems that the other one has, but it's quick.

Peter

Edit: I forgot to exclude genres. Again this is totally untested so it probably won't work straight out of the gate, but you should be able to tweak it to make it work.

Maybe RadioDJ can help you there.
Set all the weightings for the ratings to the same value -- thus effectively disabling this feature.
RadioDJ uses playlists as input and it can boost entries that come before others.
So when you are able to create a playlist (or maybe auto playlist) that is sorted according your criteria, you have what you want.

Hope that helps.
CIAo, uwe..

That was an "OnPlay" script, Teknojnky is correct that the "AutoDJ" scripts are new to MM3 and allow you to create a new source for MM's auto DJ rather than adding tracks manually to Now Playing as we had to before.
